OFFICIAL ORG

any official org (not a franchise or Gung-Ho Group) can perform and teach any class or grade up to Class IV. This includes standard Dianetics HDC and HDG. Only an official org can teach academy courses and qualify students for Scn certificates. The difference between an official org and a franchise or a mission is that an official org is looked to as a distribution point for Source, runs on policy, is responsible for its area, and looks to its Continental Org and WW for policy. It maintains the quality and standard of tech. It sets a standard for instruction. (HCO PL 15 Dec 69)
